I'm a little behind on listening to this week's podcasts, so this is a little late.
Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah!

The New York real-estate boom is claiming a different kind of casualty, according to an article in Sunday's New York Times. Keying off a new report issued by the Center for an Urban Future, Jennifer Steinhauer noted that, thanks to high housing prices, many of the creative types who work in Manhattan-centered fields like advertising, publishing, and the arts are being priced out of the city. This, presumably, could damage New York in the long run, since it's an article of faith among nouveau-urban thinkers that the creative classes are a huge economic advantage, as the author Richard Florida has persuasively argued.
It could also damage journalism. The journalists who write these stories about people who can't afford to live in New York can't afford to live in New York, either. And that's a trend that may prove just as corrosive to establishment media as any disruptive technology.

But, but, but all these liberal "journalists" love high taxes and the liberal mecca of New York, why would they whine when prices are high?
the fact that their work products are accessed for "free" on the internet indicates to me that their work has no value. So why pay them at all.
The proper title for such papers is [let's demonstrate that the Neanderthals, too, can be highbrow and could quote Joyce] "Evening Arsewipe".
Well done.

Never thought about it. Don't care to.
You mean the DNC isn't compensating journalists for all that leftist propaganda?
